After nearly 2 and 1/2 years of CSVT ownership I still have not figured out what is causing this noise coming from the passenger rear brake/wheel area. From outside the car, or with the windows down it sounds like a metal-on-metal clanking/rattling noise when I hit even small bumps in the road. Sounds like dropping a wrench on onto a metal toolbox. From inside the car it sounds like more of a clunking noise. Its not as audible but still very annoying and very noticeable. Another thing is that when braking in reverse I get a horrible squeaking noise from the passenger side rear break. When i say horrible squeak, I mean HORRIBLE and LOUD. Not your average brake squeak (sounds closer to the imfamous "moose" sound that our car does).
Basically I'm thinking these 2 problems might be related. I've had a mechanic under my car for hours tearing apart everything in the suspension and had no luck finding this noise (the rattling noise that is). He even took the sway bar completely off the car which did not stop the noise.
So I come here looking for help because I am out of ideas. Please keep in mind I have had the BAT kit along with new strut mounts installed over the summer which did not help. I'm beginning to think this noise is not from the suspension but from the brake. It seems too coincidental that both of these very annoying sounds come from the same area of the car.
What do you guys think?
